allegations in the complaint Of foreign hold

EXPERIENCE VS. INExPERIENCE

1t is matter of regret that in intro
ducing Hoods Sarsaparilla, its proprie-
tors are obliged to overcome a certain
distrust by some people who have I'M
fortunately bought worthless COM
pounds mixed by persons ignorant of
pharmacy. Messrs. G. /. Hood & Co.
are reliable pharmacists of long exper-
fence, and they make no claims for
Hoods Sarsaparilla which cannot be
substantiated by the strongest proof.
And we say to those who lack confidence
read the unsolicited testimonials in favor
of Hoods Sarsaparilla, and then prove
its merits by actual personal test. We
are confident you will not be disap-
pointed, but will find it medicine OF
peculiar curative value, which can be
implicitly relied upon.

A smaks-E;te Healer.


Not long since 4 nan known us Bap-
tiste Ricquar, Of crcole-Frcnch descent,
died on his farm near kaskaskia, Ill.
writes a CORRESPONDENT Of the st. Louis
Giobe- Dcmocrat For nearly half
century previous 10 his death he was
credited with the remarkable gift of
healing snake-bites, and OF being Ga
familiar terms with the most venomous
reptiles the country afforded. 1t was
said this power had been given him by
a Canadian on his death-bed in return
for some important service, rs an act
of friendship. The conditions or cir
cumstances attending the transfer of
this curious knowledge never were
learned with certainty, rs its possessor
was extremely jealous Of it, guarding
il with the greatest care, and revealed
it to no one until the hour of his death,
when he impaired the gift TO his eldest
son, who can not be induced to speak
of it in the presence of strangers.
There is, however. an abundance of
living evidence of Ricquars power to
cure the bite Of snakes without the use
of any kind of medicine, and of his APP
parent love or fellowship with and con-
troll over all kinds Of snakes. He would
never consent to their being killed or
injured, and it is said that he kept the
largest and most venomous specimens
about his place, and that they would
approach him to be earessed or disap-
pear into their hiding places at his will.
Whenever u person within reach of
old Baptiste was bitten, he was usually
sent for to relieve the pains and render
the poison innocuous In this he was
never known to fail He simply placed
his hands upon the wound and caution
ed the sufferer not to take any medi-
cine offered by others. 1t would insult
him highly if asked how much he
charged for his services, and would
only accept something, whatever it
might be, if offered as present upon
some other occasion.
Being a devout Catholic, his gift
brought him into bad repute with the
parish priest, who, rs the story goes,
forbade him partaking Of the holy sac
sament unless he foreswore the exercise
of his black art. The bishop, however,
during one Of his periodical visits to
the parish, is said TO have had an in
terview with his offending parishioner.
He inquired of Ricquar how he came
by the gift, and why he did not, at the
command of the priest, abjure such un-
canny practices. Riequar responded
that he had no compact with the evil
one, nor was there anything wicked
about it. How could there be any
harm. he argued. in saving the life of
a fellow-creature when ii was so easily
done. He had resolved many times to
give up the use of It, but when an ex-
cited neighbor came begging him to
come and save little child, or the wife
who had been bitten. he could not re-
fuse, even at the risk Of losing favor in
the church He was granted a dispen-
sation BY the bishop to participate in
the comforts Of the communion without
revealing his art at confession, and
when he died he was honored with a
perpetual resting-plaee in st. Mary of
Help cemetery.

McGarrahan who came to the rescue
with ball of blueing half dissolved in
stOne-china saucer. which yielded IA
fluid near enough to ink to satisfy the
requirements of the government of the

And when the poor, patient post

pened to have in his pocket, had writ
ten katy Mulvaney, by Honora Null
vaney Cher mark)," and when Mrs.
Mulvaney had traced her idea of a
cross n the proper place, he marched
off on his weary way, to be scolded,
probably, at Station z for the delay
caused by his complying with the most
idiotic regulation ever issued by the
United States post-office.
Mrs. Mulvaney and select deputa-
ton from the crowd of sympathizers
took the letter up into the Mulvaney
apartment and laid it on the table.
Then they sat around and looked at it.
"It's proud girl Katy IL be this
day." said Mrs. McGarrahan: ''there's

bated breath.
1t was 7 o'clock when Katy Null
vaney got home from the 'fact'ry."
With rosy checks and wondering
black eyes, she came into the circle of
the cxpectant assembly like vision Of
youth and beauty. The gathering
was feminine, save for Mulvaney, who
sat smoking in his chair, tipped back
against the mantelpiece, proud, pa
tronizing, and placid.
|'Open yer regtsther letter, Katy"
he said, with dignity, pointing to the
table.
Katy opened her eyes wide, adj
vanced nevously, and tore the enve-
lope open.
s'Fwat is it-there's n dear,-a di-
plomy?" chorused the circle. But
Mrs. Mulvaney had snatched the con-
tents, and her wall arose.
LUX fwat it is!' she cried, and held
it up, while the others crowded around.
1t was dirty, shop-worn Christmas
card, left over from the holiday sea-
son. And across the person of a dys-
peptic male angel was written:

Katy hid her blushing face in her
hands, sank into chair, and sobbed
in mortified anguish. Her father
tapped his pipe on the arm of his
throne.
